Art is perspective. It depends on the point of view of people that enjoy and create it. Abstract painting is probably the epitome of the case. There are however, some tips you can make use before starting with your abstract art.
Use reference image: Using a reference image can give you a rough idea to start working on. You can abandon the reference as your painting takes shape.
Find focal point: Fix a place for your eye to begin and end. It is best to have it off-center to reduce the definitive nature of the paintings.
Consider the values: Limited range of values often makes a painting look shallow and meaningless. It is better to add dark values and complement it with lighter values accordingly.
Turn the picture upside down: This is an effective way to analyze the painting. This will help you to find out odd-looking areas of the painting.
Fill the edges: Don’t leave the edges unpainted. It could give a ‘central’ feel to your painting, which is something you don’t want in your abstract.
Use your feelings: Make your emotions the subject of your painting.
Have a concept: Try to express an idea through your abstract. Anything as simple as weather to current global scenarios can become its theme.
